I will take it up with my broker monday AM..as this is contrary to the info they gave me Friday PM!!!! I have no axe to grind either way..I just want to trade!!! Peace & Profit

Well it would appear that ET'ers are not the only ones panicking...Fimat (one of my executing brokers) will no longer take trades for give up to refco accounts!!! I guess the rationale is they don't want to be stuck with nowhere to give the trades!!! Peace & profit

Very good...late to the party & as per many other posts here inaccurate! Refco Securities LLC is winding down....not the same as Refco LLC!!! Peace & Profit

I have many futures clients at Refco and they are all (except 1) staying put...their choice not mine! The prime brokerage issue is a problem, but after the credit downgrades of yesterday they can no longer afford to finance the 'Hedge Funds' cuz they themselves are now paying more for the...

Yes just fine thanks....same with refcopcg There is a lot of girly panicking going on round here....my advice is take a deep breath! The futures group (Refco LLC) will be bought up in a heart beat, biz will continue under a different name...can't speak for the FX side! Rumors on Chicago...

He got it from Schneider Trading Associates..it was a memo they sent out!

could be the early stages of an ulcer, more likely IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)...spasms, shortness of breath etc stress/anxiety related, alcohol/caffeine/nicotine aggravate an already bad situation....my doc banned the lot and put me on a wholemeal diet for 3 mths....got bored got drunk...

The futures a/c's are all segregated!!! little or no risk to the end punter regardless of further accounting anomalies.... They've had the money back plus interest...I'd be a buyer here! peace & profit

I am a systematic CTA based in SW France...Top 5 ranked 12mths to date (MAR/IASG/AutumnGold/Barclays etc) and No.3 for 2004. more info about the program on www.fitrol.com and a write up in this months Futures Magazine.

fader...apols my source was top of my head waffle from end of Aug..... 2005 JAN (0.03) FEB 2.25 MAR (0.04) APR (3.77) MAY 6.59 JUN 2.82 JUL 6.55 AUG (1.16) SEP 4.44 OCT NOV DEC YEAR 18.53% Obviously same is true for US fig I...

forgot to say that e-local (guaranteed IB of RCG) trades dax/eurostoxx50 etc) at good rates...& RCG's ultimate executing broker for European markets is Fimat. peace & profit

2 cents from a European... I agree with all said previously and would in no shape or form recommend a novice start trading the Dax....its an uncompromising market even for the pro!! That being said it is the most profitable market my program trades (FTSE,Cac,Dax, S&P & Dow futures). It can...

My 2 cents for what its worth!!! All our indicators are currently heavily short ( & have been since SPZ 1232/Dow Z 10589) These are relatively sht term indicators but when added to our longer term stuff, a move to 9159 looks likely on the Dow over the next 6 mths, 1115 S&P... All our...

Give this a go.....I'm afraid I only use one based in Chicago, but they do everthing electronically for me as I live/work in SW France. Let me know if you need there details. http://www.cpadirectory.com/ Peace & Profit

The same thing happened to me last July....all same direction all whipped/reversed without taking a profit...4 times...risk per full load was around the 4% level hence -17.9%.... I don't know your system at all, but don't you think all US contracts are a little too similar in their movements...

Yes, money management is key!!! You gotta keep the faith and follow blindly at times. If you don't mind me asking what happened in Sep that was so bad for your system? I was a little more volatile than usual but came out +2.72% on the month...that being said i took the last week off to...

For me, I am looking at the big picture. It is difficult in the startup phase, but if you have enough belief in your "strategy", you will make it. [/B] Starting up is very difficult indeed. There are a number of 'Hedge Fund Hotels' in London (& I'm sure there must be the same in the US)...

Would love to know the reason also...seems like dax is going up regardless of all else around it!! It was bid all day, even when they sold the US...but has been like this for a few days now. Possibly election hangover, more liklehood of a coalition!!?? I hope at least we get a sell off...

I am systematic based, I currently cover the stock index futures, although am about to launch a diversified product as well. To be honest I didn't give much thought to the CPO route due to what I perceived to be extra regulatory costs/headaches and being non-US based I thought the managed...

forgot to say that its still cheaper than Arthur Bell's offer of $125 per account plus $250 monthly fee for CTA biz (Managed A/C's)!!!
